It's a big orgy in the Sargasso Sea.

They all meet.

And so they have to meet each other at the right time, at the right location, at the right depth.

And it's just amazing.

And so there's a series of cues that they have, both in time.

So generally, they migrate during the fall.

But that will be different according to where they are, because the Spanish eels will take a shorter time.

And magically, they leave later.

Yes.

And then the Norwegian ones leave earlier in the season.

And it's regulated, we think, by photoperiod.

So there's more light in Spain versus Norway.

And so that kind of triggers photoperiod.

the timing of their migration.

And after that, to find their way to the spawning area, then there aren't many signposts.
